OPTICAL TUBE PLACEMENT
The optical tube is attached to the mount by means of a dovetail
bar. This trapezoid-shaped metal part is inserted into the slide rail
located on the telescope clamp at the top of the mount.
5. Loosen the two knobs of the slide rail until the passage is
completely free.
6. Position the telescope clamp horizontally and tighten the
panning handle and the azimuth tension knob . Insert the
dovetail bar
of the tube into the slide rail and tighten the
knobs
.
INSTALLING THE ACCESSORIES
The Red Dot Finder
The STELESCOPE 70 is equipped with a red dot finder
which
helps point celestial objects.
7. Set up the red dot finder lens so that it is positioned towards the
front of the tube. Insert the finder on the base found at the rear of
the optical tube and tighten the clamp screw. Remove the plastic
tab under the battery cover before use.
The Eyepiece Holder and Star Diagonal
8. Remove the cap from the eyepiece holder and insert the Amici
prism star diagonal
. Tighten the clamp screws .
Dust Caps
9. Dust caps must always be in place when STELESCOPE 70 is
not in use in order to limit dust deposits on the optics as much as
possible. There are two caps: the eyepiece holder cap which can
also be used on the star diagonal in the absence of an eyepiece
(see picture) and the optical tube cap
to be placed at the front
of the tube.
